Manager of Topalov just issued a stunning allegation in a Press Release!! This is absolutely getting ridiculous. I really wish everyone would just stop with these open letters and press releases and play chess. I DO NOT believe that Kramnik is using any computer assistance at all. Below is Danailov’s press release:
